Semenya, who has not run since she won the world title in August because she is waiting for the results of her gender verification tests, was denied a chance to run Tuesday at a meet in Stellenbosch.

STELLENBOSCH, South Africa - Caster Semenya is tired of waiting for track and field's ruling body to release results of her gender tests and plans to return to competition.
